Held twice each summer in two communities impacted by development, the Bakken Rocks CookFest offers residents the opportunity to get out and learn more about the oil and gas industry, hear from industry experts, meet the employees of companies working in their area, and best of all, eat some of the best BBQ available in western North Dakota. With games and activities for kids, swag and giveaways, and live music, this free event is fun for the whole family.
